We have installed Dev Media Server in preparation of installing the full Interactive Media Server version. I am having a problem connecting to the administrative tool. I can only connect to it by going to:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3\fms_adminConsole.htm

on the local box, but f I go to

http://localhost:1111/

Which is what the instructions say to do, I get the following error (I am never shown the login form):

<result>
<level>error</level>
<code>NetConnection.Connect.Rejected</code>
<description>Admin user requires valid username and password.</description>
<timestamp>12/4/2008 11:44:59 AM</timestamp>
</result>

I have searched the Knowledge Base and did not find anything.
Operating System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Browser: Microsoft IE

Any thoughts?

    I'm building a developmental server as well, but building it on a Red Hat 5 server. Nevertheless, if you just open your browser on the server and go to 'open file' and navigate down to the flash file instead of the HTML document you should be in good shape. Not sure where it is on Windows, but on linux it's located at:

    /opt/adobe/fms/fms_adminConsole.swf

    I just moved this flash file to another machine (my laptop) and can open the administration pane for my FMS server. Keeps you from having to jump back and forth. Open that right up in your browser and you should be golden.

    See the documentation for the admin service HTTP API. It has no HTTP UI, it just takes arguments in the URL string and returns XML results.
